This interview is with an individual who spent about thirty years doing play piercing on himself, without any outside influence or guidance… Because it went on in private like this, it’s quite interesting to juxtapose it with the current style of play piercing that’s much more popular. Anyway, click through to read the article, and then come back here to comment.

I also wonder whether his ‘blindness’ is from birth, or rather that his vision has degraded over time.

Great article Shannon. He’s so normal he makes my friends look odd. [and I am a non piercing, no tattoo gal] But I like seeing this stuff…and reading about it.

I think it’s the bodies natural selection of what pain and or pleasure is. So, starting out at a young age knowing that certain types of pain cause pleasure is I think something lucky.

Pretty interesting that a blind person would be into cross dressing which is a very visual thing. So from this I would assume that this individual was not blind from birth…

**curiouser and curiouser** In My line of work, I get a lot of “vanilla” people with EXTREME kinks… he reminds Me of a few clients that I have had over the years. Ashamed or unable to research their kink to be fully educated. Im glad you brought him into the fold… Perhaps a community like ours will aid him in his misadventures down the “rabbit hole.”

shannon, towards the end you put in an editors note that you didnt agree with his assessment. can you clarify or expand on that? i only ask because the way it is written, and i’m sure you didnt intend this, but it basically looks like he is urging caution to readers and you are disagreeing with his caution.

wow, the needles in his nipples make me feel so squeamish.

Awesome geeky pic there, even better read.
I totally agree with him on the pins vs needle statement. I really have been enjoying skewers lately for that reason too, more sensation and less trauma/scars.
Wonder how many other people are out there, exploring similar activities behind closed doors without even knowing others like them exist.
I wonder if I would find it exhilarating or if I would feel lonely.

I think Shannon was saying that he doesn’t agree with the interviewee’s view that genital play piercing is unsafe and that you shouldn’t do it.

That picture has been floating around the internet forever. I have this awkward sense of closure after reading this.

He was very forthcoming in the article and seems to know, and needs to know, a lot about his own anatomy and physiology. Love the breast pumps in the photo…

Do you have any Bob Flannegan interviews online Shannon?

pretty fascinating article and an interesting switch from the standpoint of the needles used, versus the standard sharps type we’re used to seeing in BME galleries. One question I wondered about, since he brought it up a few times, was about being diabetic. He mentions that diabetics have thinner skin than non-diabetic people. So my questions are 1. How long has he been diabetic? and 2. Does he think there is any connection with his sensations of pain and the damage to the nerve endings that is sometimes associated with being diabetic?

#13/tony – I think that genital stuff often heals faster than body stuff; that was my main disagreement.
